5 Member Korean girl group KARA, who is going through a break-up crisis, also star in the TV Tokyo drama "URAKARA". However, they have missed the recording schedule goal for the show. TV Tokyo stated they are supposed to air episode 4 of "URAKARA" on February 4th, but are currently looking into a substitute program to air. Originally, the 5 members had all arranged to arrive in Japan before that date to record for the show.
TV Tokyo stated that they're preparing on airing episode 3 on the 28th, but parts of episode 4 are still incomplete. They're going to attempt filming it this weekend, but they're preparing for the worst. The company stated, "Continuing the program is the most important. All we can do is wait for the conclusion of this crisis". According to Korean media, on the 25th the 3 members made their demands to DSP Media through their lawyer, but as of today the company and KARA do not have a mutual agreement.
Also, on the 26th a Korean paper posted KARA's demands. They want a management change, a new and clear system and they want a new contract where their DSP media contract ends around the time of their Japanese Universal contract.

Date: 2011-01-27 02:50 am (UTC)I don't know what they're thinking asking to shorten the contract. They only have 3-4 years left, it's not like they're chained to the company for 13 years, it's a legal binding and you don't change it when you feel like it. And if they want to leave in 2012, what the hell is the point of a management change?!
Come on, idols are supposed to be overworked especially if they're on demand like Kara. If DSP wasn't making them successful with all that work, then maybe there would be a good argument. >__>

Sorry, I'm so sick of this. I want to go stab a lawyer.
